What Hearts & Lives does
Mission
Addressing the needs of residents in the rim mountain communities through case management, direct services and referrals, and collaborating with governmental and nonprofit community resource providers.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Providing families with a comprehensive, integrated system of case management, early childhood development, and services through case management. The Early Identification and Intervention Services program provides early intervention from ages 0-9 that exhibit behavioral and emotional issues due to trauma, crisis, loss, and development delays. Screening and treatment is offered through services to treat and prevent future behavioral issues and to improve the quality of life for these children. We provided 3,337 services to participants for fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $259k to $394k (+52%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 90% · 2021 96% · 2022 85% · 2023 99% · 2024 80% · 2025 92%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
99% of Hearts & Lives’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
Hearts & Lives draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 3 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
